Support for rpi_5

[etenzy]

When i try to start the rpi_generic version i get the following output:

In the latest beta build v1.6.0-beta.1 it doesn't even get this far.

On a 4GB Pi 5 it never gets to the step of reading config.txt and keeps looping forever on the line type: 32 1ba: 2048 'mkfs.fat' • EFI • clusters 201618 (1)

I just booted 1.6.4 and get the same error about os_check=0.

Based on the post here it might have to wait for 6.8 kernel to be supported.

Hi there,

as the mentioned Linux version 6.8 is released now, I would like to take the opportunity to ask whether there are any plans to support the Rasberry Pi 5 in the near future. I would be excited to get my newly purchased Rasberry Pi 5 up and running using Talos.

Kind regards
Alexander Skrock

There is no u-boot support yet, so it seems way far ahead

[Toasterson]

Any updates since? I am going with k3s at the moment but would love to testdrive Talos once it's ready.

[rothgar]

Based on some email list conversations I read it looks like uboot 2024.04 adds support for raspberry pi 5 booting from SD card (no USB or nvme)

If someone wants to try it out you would have to update the uboot version here https://github.com/siderolabs/sbc-raspberrypi/blob/main/Pkgfile#L12-L14 and build a docker image and push it to a registry

Then you can follow these steps to use imager to create a custom image that you should be able to dd to an SD card. https://www.talos.dev/v1.7/talos-guides/install/boot-assets/#example-raspberry-pi-overlay-with-imager

I'm leaving for vacation soon so I don't have time to try it but would love to hear back from anyone that does.

I tried compiling u-boot but it didn't work, the nvme patches seem to be required for compiling.

[rothgar]

The uboot patch says it only supports sd card right now. Did you try that?

[githubcdr]

I tried compiling without any patch and with patches, both failed for me.

Good news! I have been able to boot Talos on rpi 5 using manually compiled uboot 2024.4, the ethernet port does not seem to be detected, probably some config.txt issues..

I'm trying also could you explain better how you were able to do it. thanks

[githubcdr]

I first tried to build it via the bldr tool, but for some reason that gave me segfaults. What I did instead was manually compile uboot 2024.4 from source on a arm64 machine (rpi4) and then just place u-boot.bin file in the /boot partition :)

But as mentioned this will not work since the rpi firmware and the talos kernel must match if I understand correctly..

[Maikusan]

Are there any news regarding raspi 5 support?

[pocket-pc]

Should this be moved to siderolabs/sbc-raspberrypi for task tracking?

i also just got Talos to boot on Pi 5 but hangs on 'talos failed looking up time.cloudflare.com'? Any progress with the ethernet port?

A couple of Kiwis with @mooneydude same issue bump this.
